Dark Chocolate is Delicious and… Taxable?
Via Taxgirl.com: in Iowa, a Milky Way Dark candy bar is taxable, but a classic milk chocolate Milky Way is not.
What? Yeah, I know.
The confusion apparently stems from Iowa’s definition of candy, sales tax laws, and the inclusion (or exclusion) of flour. You can read the whole thing at Roth & Co. (And while you’re there you can read about Iowa getting themselves in a bunch over taxing pumpkins: for carving or for food.)

In an effort to shore up a failed economic system, the politicians must look for new ways to steal the Peoples money by means of a fraudulant and criminal tax system.
Imposing a tax on certain types of candy, only demonstrates their desperation to save an economic system which has ruined our country.
It should come as no surprise, if they find a way to steal candy from a baby, in the interest of homeland security.
